<P>I have used both QuickBooks and CW for the church I work for. (We just switched to CW.) I love CW for contributions. I also think it does a better job of true fund accounting than QuickBooks does. I do not find CW as user friendly as QB for the financial module, but I prefer it because I think it handles restricted accounts much better.</P>
